What a rort.

Thank you for purchasing an article through the Nature Publishing Group.

You purchased the following article(s):

Identification of DNA sequences required for activity of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter

The total cost of the order is: US$ 30.0

The article is three pages long. That’s US$10 per page. But it’s not available on USYD, UNSW or UTS library servers, argh! Which meant I would have had to go into uni just to get a three page article. At this stage in the game I thought it would be worth it. Maybe I’m an idiot for purchasing it. But hey it’s done and I can (perhaps) sleep easier. It’s an article I needed - that’s my excuse. Mind you I haven’t read it yet.

Hmm, that’s almost as much as this server costs a year… I feel so jipped.
